The Whimsical Radar is one of the ship parts found in Pikmin. It's the only part that gives Olimar a usable utility in the game, allowing Olimar the ability to see all ship parts and Pikmin in the area with just one glance at the monitor of the Dolphin. The Ship in Pikmin 2 also appears to have a radar of sorts.

Collecting the Part

The Whimsical Radar, with a group of Red and Yellow Pikmin.

This part is to the right of where the Yellow Onion first found. It is resting on a ledge that any Pikmin can reach. Destroy the stone gate using the nearby Bomb Rocks, then defeat the Dwarf Bulborbs and Spotty Bulborb. Its sonar can be heard ringing as Olimar approaches it, so it is very easy to find. You can also opt out of using more bomb rocks by going around behind your base into the area filled with Male and FemaleSheargrubs

. After killing all harmful enemies, you can throw Pikmin onto the ledge and allow them to carry the Whimsical Radar back safely.
